Now available for sale is this 1972 Holden HQ SS. Originally made by Holden to test the market prior to the release of the GTS Monaro sedans and one of only 2800 built. This SS is one of only approximately 382 known examples on the HQ SS Register making this car quite rare. It is also believed it is one of only 26 built series II in the Infra-Red colour in the Melbourne plant. During the current ownership, the car has received a closed door respray which presents nicely. Correct stripes and decals were replaced also. The original SS rims are intact and have also been restored as per factory and have new tyres recently fitted. In addition to this new bumper bars have also been fitted too. The trim in the car is all per factory and is in terrific condition. Seats and door trims have been replaced recently and a general tidy up to return the car to original. Mechanically the car is all standard and is currently running a non-original 253 engine, four speed and standard diff. The car has recently been serviced and the front brakes replaced at the same time. Overall, this car presents nicely and is ready for weekend cruising with nothing to do except jump in and enjoy and is now available for inspection by appointment in our Kogarah facility.
Muscle Car Warehouse are proud to bring to the market this lovely L34 Holden LH Torana. Built in July of 1974 and finished in striking Chrome Yellow. The paintwork has been re done at some stage and still presents nicely with only minor signs of wear and tear. Sitting on the genuine style wheels which have been tastefully widened to give this hero Holden that little extra appeal. A set of genuine V5 three-piece Simmons are available with the car by negotiation. The interior is mostly original and still in good condition for its age with the only addition being two aftermarket gauges. Under the bonnet is a 308 “HZ” engine still featuring its original dizzy, twin coils, headers and with upgrades such as a Holley 650 double pumper carburettor and a solid lifter cam. Behind that is the original gearbox and diff. This L34 is believed to have had only four owners with the current owner since 2016. Includes original L34 supplement and Holden Historical Services paperwork. This beautiful L34 Torana is now available by appointment only or via video call at our Kogarah facility.
Named after the Monaro region in New South Wales (although pronounced differently), Holden's new coupé was introduced in July 1968 in a two-door pillarless hardtop design available in three models: base, GTS and GTS 327. The base Monaro had a standard 161 cubic inch six cylinder engine or the extra cost options of two versions of 186 cubic inch six cylinder engines. The Monaro GTS came standard with the more powerful 186'S' engine and both base model and GTS could be optioned with a 307 cubic inch Chevrolet sourced V8 engine. The exclusive Monaro 'GTS 327' model was powered by a 327 cubic inch Chevrolet V8 engine rated at 250 horsepower, available only with a 4-speed manual transmission. The HK Monaro GTS327 gave Holden its first victory in the 1968 Hardie-Ferodo 500 at the hands of Bruce McPhee and co-driver Barry Mulholland. Whilst Mulholland only drove one of the total 130 race laps, McPhee drove the remainder and also scored both pole position and fastest lap of the race.
Up for sale here is this genuine Holden HK Monaro GTS. Lovingly owned by the current owner since 1990 and restored in 2001. Restored with the intention of being used and enjoyed. The Ermine White paintwork still presents well with only very minor signs of wear and tear. Still sporting GTS wheel arch moulds, striping, and badging. The trim in this car is also still in beautiful condition and all done to original specs with the only modification being an aftermarket CD player that has been installed in the glovebox so that the original theme is kept within the interior. The car sits tastefully on American Racing wheels, again still in great condition. Under the bonnet is of course a healthy V8 Chev engine which runs perfectly. Backing that is a Saginaw four speed manual transmission and then finally a 10 bolt Salisbury diff. Since being restored this Monaro has been entered in many shows such as Summernats and the 2004 Monaro Nationals at Bathurst where it took out Top HK modified. It has always been garaged and only travelled 20,000 miles since the restoration was completed. For any further information do not hesitate to contact Muscle Car Warehouse.
